To Romance A Charming Rogue

by Nicole Jordan

     

Jordan's Regency is fun, poignant, and romantic.  I love Damon—he is such a rogue.  Elle is not your regular do as I say heroine, and that makes for a wonderful read.  Both the hero and heroine's repartee and their cat-and-mouse games of kisses and more are well enacted.

Lord Damon Stafford, the Viscount of Wrexham, has been a thorn in Lady Eleanor's side for years.  His courtship and then unfaithfulness put to rest their short engagement.  Now she is looking for a husband, a prince in fact, but the roguishly handsome Damon shows up to ruin her expectations.   Every time she thinks she is making progress with the Prince, her ex-fiancé tells her why she shouldn't marry the man.  When Damon climbs in through her bedroom window and shows her the delights of the bedroom, she is stunned to find her feelings have not changed—she is still in love with the rogue who now proposes a marriage of convenience.

After his twin brother's death, Damon vows to never love another again, but soon discovers he cannot live without Eleanor.  An attempt against the Prince pushes both he and the lovely lady into a situation where marriage is no longer an option but a necessity.  Now, Damon must decide to give his heart completely to Elle or risk losing her, and Eleanor must put aside her distrust and find a way to help the man of her heart.
